In an article entitled
The Untimely Demise of Industrial Music, a primarily positive review is put forth by
Bill Aicher of
music-critic.com.
Industrial music has died as a popular genre due to this album. Little has been said or done in the pop music scene that is industrial, and NIN would have been the ones to revive it. With this album it is done. Caput. See ya later! Reznor has moved on once again, and once again he has proven that he is a musical genius.
The review covers the strong and weak points of the album, and tags
The Fragile with a 4.0 out of 5.0 rating. Thanks to
David for sending the link :)
